It's been one month since I last updated. Wow, time flies. Since then I've landed a job and met 412 different people. I've been thinking about something I wrote a little while ago. I wrote the following....

And yet here I sit, waiting. I'm waiting on God no less. Ifind myself in an interesting position. I'm annoyed that I have to wait but thenagain it is God. At this point I don't have a job or even a lead on a job. I'mjust waiting. Sure I'm putting my name out there and trying to network where ican but it always leads me back here to just sitting in my chair and waiting.Ithink that God might be telling me something. I need to wait more often. I needto wait on Him and for Him. In my desire to get everything as quickly aspossible I've tried to eliminate all of the waiting in life. But when it comesto God, I should always be willing to give up the fast track and wait for Him.We have made our lives so busy that we no longer wait on the one who gives useverything in the first place. Even when I worked at a church I kept busybecause that's what I was supposed to do. Keep busy, get things done. It'sremarkable how our lives can suddenly become so busy that we neglect to wait onwhat God has for us.As I sit here and stare out of the window on a rainy day, Ithink, and hope, and pray that from now on I can just stop and wait on God.Maybe that's what this time off is all about.

So I waited. And God came through. It's crazy how He always does. It didn't happen how I thought that it would. I thought that I would have a job within a month at least. But 6 months later there I was. God rarely actually does things the way that I want him to do things. It's starting to make me think that maybe He knows what He's doing. In fact I'm getting to the point where I'm almost sure of it. So maybe, just maybe the next time that something is happening in my life , i'll skip the stress and look straight to God. He's always been faithful. Try it sometime. See what happens.
